Brian Turner:
Playlist
from January 9, 2007

Order and disorder in a freeform haze of terribly-played guitars, shorted-out electronics, found audio detritus, strange sounds from strange lands all around. Psych-punk-junk, collage, even pop. Lots of in-studio live performances to boot.

See video of the "Waiting" from Ex's WFMU set below or for downloadhere.

The Ex

Live in the WFMU Studios

Engineered by Colin McLean and Gil Shuster

Since 1979, Holland's greatest musical export has been setting the bar higher and higher. Starting off as squat-residing political punks that learned music only after booking their first gig, the band has grown into an incredible example of living its message via passionate and prolific output both musical and print-related. Through the years, their world travels have allowed them to grow and absorb many genres of music into their sound, from European folk, to improvisational jazz and African pop; in the last few years they completed a self-promoted tour of Ethiopia and have released CD's from some of the continent's greatest musicians including the famed Konono Number 1. Live, the current lineup of Terrie, Andy, G.W. Sok, and Katherina are a veritable tornado of pounding rhythms and dissonant twin guitars, tearing up the stage more each time they return to New York. They appear for the first time ever in WFMU's live room today for a full session, plus interview afterwards that will include their current tourmate DJ/Rupture. Songs: Shouting At the Moon / She Jumped On My Back / Live Wire / Waiting. The band today: Terrie Ex: guitar, Andy Ex: guitar, baritone guitar, Katherina: Drums, G.W. Sok: Vocals. Thanks to the band, Gil, Colin, Phil C. and Sara Tolbert for an amazing afternoon. More info at the Ex's site. Also, check out DJ/Rupture's special mix for a 2002 set on WFMU's Re:Mixology program.
